She was asked the question, “What is the accomplishment you’re most proud of?”

“I’m very much proud to say that I’m a co-founder of a social enterprise that we have launched last December back in the Philippines, it’s a social enterprise that forwards self-awareness to the youth,” Carbonell answered.

“In fact I have given about a hundred workshops and talks to public schools, all over the country, which I’m very much excited to, hopefully, be able to share also to different nations, and it is in the power of the youth that I am inspired to be a better person and to do more for the world, thank you,” she added.   /vvp
